My favorite was the Cherokee owned by two women who shared an 
abode... their personalized VA plate was:

2 DYKES


They had it for years until some "citizen" complained, whereupon the 
VA DMV demanded the plates back... after a couple of years with no 
problems.    The ladies in question went as far as to take it to 
court to keep their personalized plates that they "paid for in good 
faith which the DMV had seen no problem with issuing to begin 
with".    In the end, the DMV won.

Then not long ago I saw a car in Taco Bell with the plates 
LESBEAN.    I guess LESBIAN was already taken...



There's always an ass somewhere who feels it's their responsibility 
(or privilege) to police the planet for the rest of us.
